Compare Bolt CMS vs. Grav

Bolt CMS is a lightweight CMS built with the Silex Microframework. It is well built and a great alternative for developers looking for a modern PHP system to replace WordPress, for example.

Grav is a fresh flat-file database which is easy to install. It uses a number of Symfony components and is very fast to get started with.

• Clean architecture built with Silex, very easy to learn
• Standard components for Forms and Database
• Clean purpose, not trying to solve every problem

• Fast to install and get started with
• Extensible via Plugins, Skeletons and Themes
• A fresh codebase, no PHP4 cruft here

• Developer availability compared to WP
• Extensibility for multilingual, etc. depends on extensions
• Limited community size

• Limited use cases due to flat-file approach
• Limited developer base
• Needs more work to round the edges in real-world use
